FAQs

What is the check-in and check-out timing for an overnight stay?
Check-in is typically at 12:00 PM (Noon), and check-out is at 9:00 AM the next day.
Do houseboats cruise continuously all night?
No. By Kerala Government maritime rules, houseboats must anchor by 5:30 PM / 6:00 PM and remain stationary until 7:30 AM. This protects local fishermen laying night nets in the lakes and canals.
Are the houseboats private or shared?
When you book a houseboat, it is 100% private for you and your group. You do not share the boat with external tourists.
Is vegetarian or custom food available?
Yes. Pure vegetarian, Jain, or North Indian food options can be prepared if requested in advance at the time of booking.
Can we buy extra seafood during the cruise?
Yes. Your driver can stop at local lakeside markets along Kuttanad, where you can buy fresh Karimeen (Pearl Spot), tiger prawns, or crab. The onboard chef will cook it for you for a nominal preparation charge.
What is the difference between Deluxe and Premium AC?
In Deluxe boats, A/C is turned on only in the bedroom from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM. In Premium and Luxury boats, A/C runs 24/7 (including daytime when docked or cruising).
